The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it is yet to make a decision on whether to contest the upcoming Akwatia by-election following the death of Ernest Yaw Kumi, the late Member of Parliament for the constituency.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, NDC Deputy General Secretary Mustapha Gbande noted that the party is still mourning the loss of its MP and has not concluded discussions on the by-election.
“We in the NDC are still mourning the late Ernest Yaw Kumi. I am not the one to announce whether or not we are contesting. Should the party decide that we should go for an election, we will. We are yet to decide,” he said.
The Electoral Commission is expected to announce a date for the by-election to fill the parliamentary seat in line with Ghana’s electoral laws.
